“For some reason the Canadians kept them until 1:30am and then they refused them entry,” he said.

“They returned them to the United States and by then they were an hour and a half over the visa, and [he] got locked up.”

The Canadians were probably worried that the Yanks wouldn’t let him back in, essentially making him their problem – according to his girlfriend.

When he was returned to the US, immigration authorities arrested him for overstaying his visa by just 90 minutes.

He could now face six months in jail before he can face a court.

Rules are rules, but it seems like this is a massive overreaction on the part of the American authorities – but perhaps not surprising given their overzealous response to Trump’s Muslim immigration ban.

The crushingly unfortunate incident is a reminder to all travellers to leave PLENTY OF TIME with any visa issues – the US don’t mess around.
